[Vibrant General] mrcrassic:
Sorry to revive an old thread, but I just traded in my Nexus One yesterday and figured I'd revive this instead of starting a new thread. Had it for a full day, and here's what I think about it so far. (I will try to revive this at a month in, then six months in, then a year in if I keep it that long.)

+ It's much lighter, but very plasticky. I loved the aluminum and heft of the N1, but all of the plastic is made up in spades by it's sleek, smooth design. It's a beautiful device.

+ 3G on the Vibrant is much more consistent than it ever was with the N1.

- I really miss my LED notifications. NoLED is alright, but not as dependable. (It doesn't work with Go SMS popups.)

+ The screen is AWESOME. It's much brighter and more color-accurate, though not by a terrible amount. I absolutely love the size of it.

+ 16GB...internal storage!!! I can not only fit all of my music without a SD card, but can fit my ENTIRE LIBRARY with ANOTHER 16GB card! AMAZING!

+ It's a really fast phone.

+ It's a really fast phone.

+ With Nero 4.1/Voodoo, it's a really fast phone.

+ Multitouch actually works well, since I can use Swype like a normal keyboard and rotate on Google Maps (which is FRIGGIN SWEET)

- No flash is a bit of a letdown.

+ Camera makes up for it; it's quite good. Haven't tried recording with it yet, though.

- GPS is a BIG letdown, though triangulation is getting me by.

+ I thought I would hate Touchwiz, and I found out I (sort of) do. I hate the launcher, but it's apps are REALLY good. For example,

+ The music app is solid, and has an equalizer!

+ Alarm app is full-featured (has a timer, stopwatch, etc.)

+ Daily briefing could be useful

+ Desk mode is nice

+ Galaxy Tab email is really nice, though it doesn't provide any better features over the stock email app.

The one disadvantage...

- Wow, there is Engrish EVERYWHERE

- Proprietary drivers suck, but that's tolerable

- Not as straightforward to unlock at the firmware level, but that's tolerable too.

- Will be last to get official updates, but most of us run rooted/modified stuff, so that point is moot. A Gingerbread port is in the works and there are plenty of great Froyo ROMs for the device right now. (Nero 4.1 is froyo-based, and there is an unofficial, "stock" Froyo-based ROM floating around that I put on my Dad's Vibrant. He loves it, no issues so far.)

Final word (at this point): Highly recommend. I absolutely loved my Nexus One, as it was easily the best phone I've ever owned. However, this and the Nexus S (for the Google support the Nexus One enjoys) are clearly superior devices.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bicione:
It is possible not do download to your phone all the inbox, but only certain email flagged (labeled) in gmail based on a filter?

I tried to setup the inbox label to only synch to 0 days... no luck, back to minimum of 1 day (Sycn none option unavailable for the inbox). I don't want to download all my email, just those that got labeled.

Another workaround is to forward them to another account for just the mobile device, but I then end managing two Gmail accounts. Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggsandroid:
You can filter all your mail that is incoming and move all of it to other labels, so it never really is in the inbox.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bicione:
Unfortunately if the email is not in the inbox, it will not be downloaded even if you applied another label to it and tell Gmail in the Hero to download those with that label... or I am doing something wrong?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riggsandroid:
I'm saying apply only a label to the email you DON'T want synced. So the only mail that is left in your inbox is what you want synced.

Does that make sense?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bicione:
Got it!! But instead of just applying a label, emails needs to be "moved" from Inbox. And, under filtering, the only way to do it is to mark "Skip the Inbox (Archive it)" and then all emails from now on "disappears" from Inbox (you can see them in All Mail "folder").

Problems with this? Once you Sync the phone (I don't know if I am doing something wrong) it gets lot of emails even if you specified only to Sync a few days. May be this can be solved by archiving everything before setting up the filtering and synching.

...AND when you return to your Inbox (regular Web Gmail) you need to select "All Mail" every time since this is not the default view (and I don’t find a way to change that) to view those emails that may be are important, but you just don’t want them on your phone right away... and that piss me off. :mad:

Thats cute. But seriously, a focus open? My behold2 had a macro setting… nothing on the market?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SBS_:
At what distance are you trying to take pictures since you need a dedicated macro setting? Just tried with the standard camera app and it can focus down to 5cm/2in which is pretty darn close.

It may not be as close as a good camera, but then again the camera quality ain't that great anyways. To answer your question; No, I haven't seen any app around to activate macro mode.
[Legend General] Lanes:
Can anyone assist me with a HTC sync issue I recently have got?

I have no idea what has happened, but one day I could sync my Legend on several computers. Now the phone "cannot find HTC Sync" on any of the computers...

I have not changed any settings on either of the computers, which leads me to believe something has happened to the phone.

Any suggestions? I would prefer not to reset my device (not even sure how either), maybe installing the HTC Sync on the phone could resolve it (where can I find that software?)

Appriciate all feedback.

Hello, I am currently working on a app called Droidbook. Why? Basically I was tired of getting 1,000 email notifications from facebook but I wanted to be notified, I was tired of filtering my the facebook email notifications, I was tired of not getting a sexy little task bar notification ( I know I know, use bloo), most of all I grew tired of all the other OS's having a fully working facebook app. So heres my shot at it, but please. What would you like to see in this app?

[XPERIA X10 General] edude03:

I just discovered a major flaw with not having TFT screen on the HTC Desire

I just tried to use the Desire outside in sun and I realize that without a good TFT screen you can't see much on the AMOLED screen the Desire have when your going to take pictures outside for example.

I think I finally have a reason to go get a Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10.

See what i did here?

Spoiler: I have a Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 already fyi.
[XPERIA X10 General] Nimche:
That is certainly a valid reason...Did you think about buying a gaming console?
[XPERIA X10 General] fonzthegreat:
.

I wonder if the X10 will ever get MT... but even without it, I love mine. The only thing I dont like about mine is that it cant sync facebook contacts like the NX1 and GalaxyS. SE sync didnt work too well for me.
[XPERIA X10 General] mtechfan:
I too was impressed at how easy it is to see the x10's display even in direct sunlight. Meanwhile my friend with an HTC Desire is constantly complaining about problems with glare and washing out.

Works for me.
[XPERIA X10 General] fonzthegreat:
So with SE sync all my facebook contacts with numbers will come out on my phonebook? cant seem to get it to work :(

Another thing I love about X10 is it works with MediaGo... Esp after my PSP just got stolen recently
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I actually experienced that yesterday with a mate. We were sitting outside with a couple of beers enjoying the sun when he wanted to check the movie schedules for the night. He whipped out his Desire and proceeded to squint and cup his hand for a few minutes in order to see the screen. Finally he gave in and borrowed my X10 to check.

The X10 isn't fantastic in sunlight, no smartphones are, but atleast you can use it outdoors. :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Talonnb:
Just do like I do, get a Wii remote and get the WiiMote application! You can play SNES better than those multitouch people anyhow!
[XPERIA X10 General] Tom-Helge:
For those who might wonder, my first reply was just to do the same as the op did to make him see that the Desire isn't any better than the XPERIA X10.

I haven't really tested the Desire outside in sun my self, but i have seen others with it and i have had big problems to see the screen if your outside in much light conditions.
[XPERIA X10 General] sl1nk3:
Well actually, if you plan on getting a MT phone do NOT get a nexus one nor a HTC Desire, they're the worst piece of MultiTouch phone you could possibly get, and are just good for pinch & zoom.

Due to the "axis crossover" issue playing a game with unaligned on-screen controls (just like most emulators) is almost impossible.

As for the X10, you can map "A" to the back button, "B" to the Camera button and "L/R" to the volume buttons, then use onscreen for the pad and start/select ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] Keegan_P:
That's what I do too. Mother 3 with a wiimote is great!
[XPERIA X10 General] Ungruntled:
If you're talking about syncing pics from Facebook to your phone contacts, I used SyncMyPix and it works great. Just set the pic download size to maximum and you can get pretty good results, and it skips people you've already got pics for. If that's not what you meant, I apologise.

I sync my contacts to Google as I struggle with the SE sync software too. Just have to be careful if you lose your contacts, as syncing them back from Google seems to lose a fair amount of image resolution for the contact images.

I discovered another flaw with not having multitouch!

When I downloaded an app.. of... um... questionable taste.... I couldn't touch ... you know... up there.. and down there.. at the same time!

Totally unrealistic!!!!!!!!!
[XPERIA X10 General] edude03:
No, I don't get your point. Almost all LCD screens don't work well in direct sunlight, the Xperia included.

Anyway, it really concerns me because one of my major reasons for having an Xperia is it's supposed to entertain me, and I really like emulators.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tom-Helge:
You clearly haven't tried the XPERIA X10 outside in the sun i see.

The XPERIA X10's screen is barely better outside in sun than the Super AMOLED screens to, and that says alot.
[XPERIA X10 General] mtechfan:
I think you mean, a lot better.
[XPERIA X10 General] andylhchen:
The way I see it, the major flaw with not having multi touch is that android 3.0 will be extremely limited.

Froyo's gallery is updated with the "expanding" effect which require dual touch at least.

It is also said that android 3.0 will have major improvement in the UI which will have that gallery effect built in throughout the UI... which is bad news for any device without multitouch.. :(:(
[XPERIA X10 General] Zer0_:
Without multitouch, my typing is much slower... But not really a big deal to me.. I use gameboid and the only thing i play is Pokemon, so I dont really need to use the multitouch feature when playing that... Also, can't you just hook up a bluetooth device (like the Wii controller) and use that as your gamepad?

I know nothing's been announced, however it is rumored (or said, like I stated in my original post) that gingerbread will focus on new UI using the froyo gallery, which is bad for non-multi touch devices.

That is all I said, if you don't believe the internet, I do have a different opinion, because I don't see it as unfeasible.

By the time android 3.0 will be out, we will probably buy another phone anyway.

[XPERIA X10 General] mtechfan:
Well, as many of you on here probably got the 8GB card with your X10 (as is did). You may have noticed that SE included a "Class 2" version. Of course they will cut costs wherever they can ;)

Well I just happened to have a "Class 6" one that I had for my X2. I decided to transfer all the X10 stuff over to that card and try it out.

Everything that involves memory card access is much faster now :eek: this is especially noticeable when viewing image folders and so on. Also, when talking images with the settings on max, it saves faster as well.

Just though I would share my experience.

In case you are wondering... The Class 6 8GB Micro SDHC I have is made by Transcend.
[XPERIA X10 General] fonzthegreat:

Stuttering?? I run a class 2 16gb Kingston and have zeero issue with stuttering on video playback. Maybe try a different player, I was just watching a Xvid last night full rez zero stutter issues.

The way you would tell is there is a number in a circle beside the name, some class 2 cards do not have anything which a good way to tell it's a class 2. ;)
